Essie- Ladylike Review

Wednesday, July 23, 2014

With my recent obsession with finding the perfect nude polish I thought that Essie Ladylike was going to be a huge home run. It was gorgeous in the bottle and it looked like it would go really well with my skintone. As many of you know, pasty white doesn't always play well with nudes, oranges and yellows.

While Ladylike is gorgeous, I wasn't too pleased with the formula. Don't get me wrong, it applied smoothly and was a great consistency. The problem was that it started bubbling with the first coat. I didn't shake, roll or drop this color before use, and I thoroughly cleaned my nails before this mani. I'm not sure if it didn't play well with Orly Bonder, or if it could be my personal chemistry. I've honestly never had a polish bubble like this unless it was hot outside.

Polishes used: Essie- Ladylike, Orly- Bonder

If any of you own Essie Ladylike I would love to hear what you think of the formula.

The only time I've ever had a manicure bubble on me was when I applied it outside in the sun (like a genius I know). So sorry I can't give any help or advice with this polish. But I've had a hard time finding a good nude too – I eventually settled with Zoya Rue, though it is on the pink side it works well with my skin tone!
